Having problems with your HP Pavilion dv9000z Notebook ?

How can I view my pc on tv using an hdmi cable and a comcast digital cable box? My tv does not have an hdmi input.

Answers :

The hdmi port on the Comcast box is an output only and cannot be used as an input from the general public. If your tv has a DVI output, there are DVI to HDMI adapters that can make the hook up....other than that, there is the super video cable but you will still have to run audio through a seperate line.
